About Us: Crowder Farms Enterprises, LLC (CFE) is a "C" type Corporation that was founded in the Great State of Alabama on March 11, 2011. Soon thereafter, we acquired a Federal Firearms License and a Special Operational Tax (SOT) in order to manufacture, buy and sell Class III weapons, such as Machine Guns, Silencers, and Any Other Weapon(s). Myself and CFE LLC had several NFA weapons prior to the FFL processes. The Corporation operates a firearms business, leases out row crop land, hunting lands, timber, minerals and other operations of CFE LLC.
Description:
You are looking at a Full Auto Machine Gun that was developed and fielded during World War II. The Original Guide Lamp Serial Number has been "ground off" and replaced with an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Serial Number. I have been told that some of the 1968 Amnesty Registered "Bring Backs" were handled in this manner, but I do not know this to be a fact or not. I know there can not be that many Guide Lamp Grease Guns, in M3 or M3A1 configuration, that are in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Records (NFRTR) because you do not see that many that come up for sale at any given time period.
This Guide Lamp M3 "Greaser" probably has some stories to tell. It would be a good candidate for a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which I have not attempted. Generally, Amnesty type paperwork will follow the gun and the gun owners; however, I am about two or three Dealers removed from this process, so all I have is the gun and some speculation as to it's herediity. By definistion, it is a Curio & Relic (C&R) because it was manufactured by Guide Lamp; however, according to my Form 3 Inventory, the Manufacturer is "UnKnown". If the Buyer has a C&R License, I will try to process this item as a "C&R". If I can, in addtion to the pictures, I have a video of me shooting this specific gun on my YouTube Channel and I will try to upload this Video; if unsuccessful, you can do a search on YouTube for "Crowder Farms Enterprises" and see me shooting this item. Here is the link to "click on", because I could not upload the video, as follows: "://youtube/shorts/Vm4j_saHc7I"
This fine "greaser" will come with the canvas sling and two grease gun magazines. She is a good shooter and a great conversaltional piece. If she could talk, I am sure she would have some stories to tell. I have added several pictures to show the welding of this gun, which is outstanding for this type weapon. Most of the General Motors Guide Lamp Employees were women, due to most of the men were in the War effort. I have two other Grease Guns in my Collection and I just love the Rate of Fire, which is around 450 rounds per minute...something like someone "knocking on your door". This M3 Grease Gun is in my eFile Inventory on a Form 3, so it can transfer to your FFL Dealer with SOT very quickly. Great Machinegun! Make Offers!!!
